610800 Matteuccia struthiopteris 'The King' - Ostrich Fern 'The King'
Part Shade 4-6’ Zone3
Sometimes also called the Jumbo Ostrich
Fern. Our
supplier, Casa Flora says, “Huge
plume like fronds from this ancient strain of Matteuccia
struthopteris will add both beauty and depth to landscape plantings
in the northern zones. This selection of Ostrich has an enormous
crown and fertile fronds that are 50% larger than those on native
Ostrich fern.”
This huge fern provides excellent
contrast for large hostas, especially the large blues like 'Blue
Angel', or as a background to show off large gold hostas. Very
dramatic in large plantings.

610900 Onoclea
sensibilis - Sensitive Fern
Part Shade-Sun / 2-3’/ Zone2
Common in the
eastern US, where under ideal conditions it forms colonies, this is sometimes called Bead
Fern because the dark fertile bodies resemble upright strands of
beads. In fertile conditions it can be a real spreader, so it is not
appropriate for a small or formal setting. More tolerant of sun than
most species, it also performs well in shade. We've heard that it is
called Sensitive Fern for its innate ability to empathize, but
others say it is just because the fronds are sensitive to the first
hard frost. The rigid bead structures stay upright and decorative
through winter.

Selaginella uncinatta -
Peacock Fern
Part Shade-Shade / 4-6"/ Zone
7-10
Selaginellas are not true ferns but they
are closely related. They require a moisture retentive, high humus
soil and protection from direct sun, and will not tolerate dryness.
The leaves are finely divided, with good substance. They are
stoloniferous and spread to form a thick groundcover, ideal for use
under small shrubs, azaleas, etc.
Selaginella
uncinata, the
Peacock Fern,
is one of the most unusual plants we grow. Also known as
Rainbow Moss,
from certain angles the iridescent foliage is an almost
unbelievably brilliant blue, changing with the slightest movement of
vantage point. The leaves themselves are finely cut and densely
spreading, with the look of a beautiful and intricate oriental
carpet, fitting for a plant of Chinese origins. Plants are only
winter hardy when well established. We recommend extra protection
the first winter or two. Northern gardeners may want to consider
growing this as a pot plant.

light chartreuse green fronds, very upright in habit. This is a
spreader, but a slow and steady one, unlike some near relatives that
can be borderline invasive. It naturalizes beautifully in open
woods.
